IRONMAN Malaysia

Langkawi Island, the Jewel of Kedah, is set to host IRONMAN Malaysia again in 2017.

About Langkawi

Located within a cluster of tropical islands that attract visitors the world over, the race will take athletes on a truly Malaysian cultural journey through tropical, hilly and demanding terrain passing traditional kampungs (villages), mangrove clusters and rainforest vistas.

The Event Experience

The ocean swim starts from the picturesque white sandy beach of Pantai Kok with a two-loop triangle out and back course. A two-loop bike course heads out of Pantai Kok on to a clockwise loop from towards the rolling hills of Datai and the fringes of Kuah Town. Athletes will return from the bike into an unique indoor air conditioned transition at the Mahsuri International Exhibition Center (next to the airport) . The 2 lap run course will be an amazing scenic run beside the Langkawi International Airport towards the finish line at the stunning Cenang beach.

IRONMAN World Championship Qualifying Race

There are 50 qualifying slots to the 2018 IRONMAN World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Testimonials

"IRONMAN Malaysia is one of my most favourite IRONMAN races in the world. The beauty and outstanding event caught me deeply. The scenery is stunning, the event is well organized and the race course is one of the most unique. I was fortunate enough to win two times in a row and every time it was fascinating while overtaking the beat of Langkawi’s nature. Everybody who wants to do a very special Ironman has to put IRONMAN Malaysia on their bucket list."
